I really don't think I've posted about ai enough to be on a hater blocklist....

???

for what

in some sense, sure. but a constitution is the establishment of law itself. so in that sense, no.

kidz bop DMX be like: i show my love, to all my buds

the idea of laws specifying their own permanence is always so fucking funny to me like bro you're a law you came into existence today on the backs of millions of dead laws from yesterday and beyond.... and you think you're permanent?

if this app running like shit isn't AI's fault that's worse... you get how that's worse, right?

i mean fuck its not even just procedural generation!! THATS ALL CODE YOU MOTHERFUCKERS.

if (emotion == sad) {
addPreface("I'm just really sad today...");
} else if (emotion == happy) {
modulateBody(excitement = 10, eagerness = 10);
addPreface("I'm feeling great today!");
}

fuck these scams

anyways the only thing this article is describing is changed outputs via the route of processes. this is true of all procedural generation. fucking kill me shut up shut up shut up shut up shut up

every aspect of our world is a scam on top of a scam on top of a scam on top of a scam on top of a scam on top of a scam

books also contain representations that perform functions similar to human feelings

thats what WORDS FUCKING ARE ALREADY

you can have an at-home "cloud" - a couple big hard drives attached to any cheap computer will do.

yeah that's tricky, they're always hiding in weird places. found mine at the skate park the other day. they said some of the ipv6s had given them some "layer altering substances" but when I checked the bag it was just oregano.

if my IP changes I will simply update my DNS with my new IP

people used to say "shut the fuck up about linux, jenny" but things are changing. just got done talking to @doctorvenkman.com for his podcast @culturedumpster.com about how the computer is a friend, and how installing linux is a viable alternative to the butlerian jihad big tech slop is inspiring

I appreciate the native German input! to me something *seems* off about the excuses angle - but its just a vibe, I know nothing.

unsure how much I like mercy in this version

"Rechts-Gnaden" can be "legal-graces" or something of the sort.

"We are ruthless; we need no consideration from you. When our turn comes we won't embellish terrorism. But the royal terrorists, the terrorists of god and mercy's grace are in practice brutal, contemptible, and mean, in theory cowardly, secretive, and deceitful, and in both respects disreputable."

ended up looking into more of Marx's famous quotes that usually get translated as "ruthless" (ruthless criticism of all that exists) and they use the same "rücksichtslos"

this makes me feel like the word 'excuse' truly isn't quite right

this is your reminder that, when it comes to resources like this you should MAKE COPIES OF EVERYTHING

beschönigen seems to translate as whitewash or excuse or palliate or embellish - each radically changing the meaning.

"we won't whitewash terrorism" vs "we will make no excuses for terrorism" vs "we won't embellish the terrorism" all come out with very very different meanings.

it seems like rücksichtslos has a more direct translation as "inconsiderate" or sometimes "ruthless"? - which is fine enough to translate as "no compassion" but its the 2nd sentence i find more interesting.

first, the german: Wir sind rücksichtslos, wir verlangen keine Rücksicht von Euch. Wenn die Reihe an uns kömmt, wir werden den Terrorismus nicht beschönigen.

i only speak english, and if anyone knows german better than my ability to just look up etymologies goes, feel free to correct me, but...

i was looking at the original German for the translation of marx's famous quote
"We have no compassion and we ask no compassion from you. When our turn comes, we shall not make excuses for the terror."

and i found something interesting

The Computer, in general, used to be purple a lot more often. we have lost our way

it/its squad rise up hell yeah
